Are you a coffee snob? When it comes to coffee, I am annoyingly arrogant. I won’t drink just any brand, nor will I buy my coffee from just anywhere. I must admit, when it comes to specialty brews, I am a sucker for a latte. My go-to coffee house has always been Starbucks. Money is kind of tight with us, so I don’t get to enjoy my coffee BFF (Starbucks), but when I do, I savor it! During the holidays, I look forward to the eggnog latte from Starbucks. With my Ninja Coffee Bar, I can make my version of this beloved drink. I give you my Copycat Starbucks Skinny Eggnog Latte!

My family has found out the hard my day just cannot start without my java fix. Now, don’t get me wrong: I am in no way a monster if I don’t get a chance to consume my coffee first thing in the morning. OK, some days, I probably am! I just love the taste and aroma of this heavenly beverage I have cherished since I was a teenager! down in a hurry.

A Coffee Cafe In My Home?

Over the years, I learned that purchasing a single cup every day can add up and put a dent on our family budget. That is why I brew our coffee at home. I just get so tired of a plain old cup of coffee every day. My taste buds yearn for a delicious latte. So, my compromise was welcoming my newest BFF into our home. I give you the Ninja Coffee Bar! It is an AH-Mazing coffee cafe in my home!!!!

Finding Your Inner Barista

I know a good cup of coffee when I taste it. Over the years, I’ve come across some exquisite blends. It’s rather tough to mix up a delicious brew from your own kitchen. I have attempted many machines and beans in hopes to find the perfect flavor. Most of them have not lived up to their expectations – until now. The Ninja Coffee Barhas met, and exceeded my expectations. I could not be happier with it. It makes creating my Copycat Starbucks Skinny Eggnog Latte a breeze!

Ninja Coffee Bar: It Won’t Let You Down

If you’re looking to match the aroma and taste of the artisanal coffee being served at your local café, then you should consider the Ninja Coffee Bar. This at-home coffee bar is quite the impressive machine. It includes a 10-cup Ninja Glass Carafe that features a Brew Through Lid which helps circulate the coffee so that your coffee tastes amazing until the last drop. It has an impressive 50 ounce removable water reservoir and also contains a permanent filter that’s easy to clean.

One of my favorite features on the Ninja Coffee Bar is its integrated hot and cold frother. Most coffee machines sell their frothers separately. The Ninja Coffee Bar allows you to enjoy your coffee with perfectly frothed milk: you won’t have to worry about buying one as an additional accessory. It adds just the right touch of frothiness to my Copycat Starbucks Skinny Eggnog Latte!

Delicious Drinks In A Wide Range Of Flavors

What also makes the Ninja Coffee Bar unique is its capability of brewing coffee in various flavors and variations. With five different brew options, you can customize the taste to your liking. The Ninja is not limited to any particular coffee brand. You can use any brand of ground coffee that you like! The Ninja Coffee Bar is best known for its Café Forte, which amplifies the subtle flavors of your favorite coffee. All thanks to its brewing capabilities, I was able to whip up my own Copycat Starbucks Skinny Eggnog Latte. Lucky for you, I’m providing the recipe below! You can get your very own Ninja Coffee Bar starting at $179.80 USD. Be sure to follow them on social media through Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter and Pinterest.

I decided to make the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes (found on page 18.) I felt they would be the perfect balance between tart and sweet. I added a bit of the lemon curd to store bought whipped topping because we all love lemon flavor. As Carla puts it, the taste is “puckery!” What’s even better is that The Chew: An Essential Guide to Cooking and Entertaining doesn’t stop at recipes. Throughout the book, the fab five answers viewer questions, giving their insights on many of your culinary curiosities.

Thank you to Ragu for sponsoring this post and for bringing my family together at meal time. When I was growing up, we had a pretty big family. There were mom and dad and six kids, and we often had my grandparents there as well. With a large family to feed, mom would make whatever was a big crowd pleaser as well as what was affordable. Back in those days, it was more common than not to make meals from scratch. One dish that would always bring everyone back for seconds (and sometimes thirds) was pasta smothered in Ragu Pasta Sauce.

Ragu Pasta Sauces Are Simmered in Tradition

Now that I am a mom, I want my family to enjoy the same amazing flavor of Ragu Pasta Sauce. I make a lot of different kinds of pasta, but the sauce doesn’t change. This is a Ragu Pasta Sauce family and we are proud of it! Thanks to Assunta Cantisano for creating such a hearty and flavorful product I can feel good about serving my family. One of our favorite dishes is my Three Cheese Turkey Meatball Manicotti Casserole. This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal, a Sunday lunch, a pot luck dish or a meal for a family with a new baby. This dish is a tradition in my family and has been for years.

I have used just about all of the Ragu Pasta Sauces in my pasta recipes, as each of us have our own favorite. Well, imagine my delight when I discovered the new RAGÚ Homestyle Pasta Sauces! Now I had a new line of sauces I knew would quickly become family favorites. I could not wait to try out a few of the new flavors, which includes Homestyle Thick and Hearty Traditional Sauce, Homestyle Thick and Hearty Meat Sauce, Homestyle Thick and Hearty Four Cheese Sauce, Homestyle Thick and Hearty Roasted Garlic Sauce and the Homestyle Thick and Hearty Mushroom Sauce.

Making Our Own Ragu Traditions

I decided to make my Three Cheese Turkey Meatball Manicotti Casserole with the RAGÚ Homestyle Thick and Hearty Traditional Sauce. You would not believe how thick these new RAGÚ® Homestyle sauces are! They are so rich and thick, they just hug those manicotti shells! These new sauces are made with a special blend of herbs (basil, fennel, oregano and black pepper), which are peeled, chopped and simmered, creating this boldest flavor yet! And just as my family believes in tradition, so does Ragu. And the name alone sums up how I feel about their Homestyle sauces. Just like homestyle means something deep to me. It is about family, loving deeply, and preparing delicious recipes using my favorite brand!

When my mom made pasta, she always added fresh tomatoes, mushrooms, onions, garlic and plenty of fresh herbs. I want to make my Three Cheese Turkey Meatball Manicotti Casserole with quality ingredients as well. But I also want to spend time with my family, enjoying a good meal and playing a game or watching a favorite classic movie. With the new RAGÚ Homestyle sauces, you will find vine-ripened tomatoes, onions and fragrant herbs, so you won’t need to add anything to these delicious sauces. I can just heat and serve my favorite RAGÚ Homestyle sauces straight from the jar.

Three Cheese Turkey Meatball Manicotti Casserole

I love this recipe because it is super easy to make and the family goes nuts over it. I honestly could make this 2-3 nights a week and no one would complain! And with the new RAGÚ Homestyle sauces, we have even more flavors to add to this family favorite dish! And it is perfect on other family favorites like spaghetti and meatballs or ravioli.

So, this weekend my husband and I did our usual thing. We ran errands and then stopped for a bite to eat and took in a movie. It was such a gorgeous day, it felt great to be out in the sun and just chilling with my best guy. What really threw me for a loop was how hot is was! I was in jeans and a lightweight top and I was sweating just a bit! As we were waiting for our food to arrive, we were talking about all the things we wanted to do this summer. One constant in our summer line-up is a lot of time outside grilling and chilling.

Summer Salads Are A Staple In My House!

We live in the south, so when it gets hot outside, it also gets really humid. When it comes to what’s on the menu, you will not find a bunch of heavy foods. Instead, summer salads are a staple in my house. And not just a ho-hum garden salad. Nope! I am talking about a light, refreshing and good for you salad…like my Asian Quinoa Chicken Salad. This salad is always a huge hit at our BBQ’s, pot lucks, summer block party or just because it’s Tuesday!

When it comes to the quality ingredients I use in my Asian Quinoa Chicken Salad, I don’t skimp. I use Swanson Chicken Broth and truRoots Quinoa, both of which I get from one of my favorite places to shop; Sam’s Club. I love saving money and when I can get such a great deal on a 6 ct. of the 32 oz. Swanson Chicken Broth, I stock up! I use it in so many of my recipes.

Photo Credit: Kicking it with Kelly

It adds so much flavor to any dish, so it is well loved in my house. Swanson enhances the flavors of the food I cook with it and it’s unique blend of flavors is trusted by chefs and brings out the joy in cooking.When I am cooking chicken in the crock pot, like I do with my chicken for my Asian Quinoa Chicken Salad, I use Swanson Broth.

Quinoa? Who Knew?!

As much as I use Swanson Broth in my house, I am new to cooking with quinoa. When I was diagnosed with prediabetes about 6 months ago, I had to make a lot of radical changes in my diet. I had to cut back tremendously on white rice, flours, breads, etc. because they are quick to raise my blood sugar. A friend recommended I try substituting quinoa in some of my favorite recipes. I was leery as I had not even heard of quinoa before. I tried it in one of my favorite casseroles and it was so good! Quinoa? Who knew?! Now I use this super food in many of my favorite recipes, including my Asian Quinoa Chicken Salad.

When it comes to the brand of quinoa I prefer, there is only one on my list; truRoots Quinoa from Sam’s Club. Oh truRoots, how I love thee….let me count the ways! Talk about a super food! I love quinoa because it is an excellent swap for rice. And the truRoots is Certified USDA organic, Non-GMO, and is Gluten Free. The makers of truRoots has a commitment to authentic, traceable ingredient sourcing, has created a leading brand in the organic industry.

truRoots is also pre-rinsed, which I really appreciate. This little step saves me time in the kitchen, which translates to more time with my favorite peeps! Oh, and did I mention how darn yummy truRoots Quinoa is? So good! To add a level of flavor to your truRoots you will love, cook it in your Swanson Broth. It will blow your mind!

Be A Block Party Hero

We are a family of four on a budget. I don’t want to skimp on quality products, but I don’t have the money to spend on high priced items my family enjoys. When it comes to saving money, I know Sam’s Club has my back. I can shop for anything from fine jewelry to computers to cat food to vitamins to fresh, quality foods. Seriously..it’s like an adult playground! Be a block party hero and get all your summer needs at Sam’s Club!

Making my Asian Quinoa Chicken Salad is super easy. I first cook my chicken in the crockpot with 2 cups of Swanson Chicken Broth. I cook it on high for 3-4 hours and shred it when it’s done. I love cooking in the crock pot in the summer because it cut’s down on the heat you get from using the oven. While my chicken is cooking,

Photo Credit: Kicking it with Kelly

I add 2 cups of Swanson Chicken Broth to one cup of truRoots and cook that on the stove top. Then I just whisk together my “dressing” ingredients and toss in my truRoots, slaw mix, peppers and almonds. Serve it on it’s own in a bowl or on your favorite sprouted bread. Talk about easy and super delicious! This recipe will quickly become a go-to side in your home as well!

Bring 2 cups Swanson Chicken Broth to a boil. Stir in truRoots Quinoa and reduce heat. Cover and simmer until tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Uncover and set aside to let cool.

In a large bowl, whisk together lemon juice, soy sauce, ginger, olive and sesame oil. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add truRoots Quinoa and toss to combine. Add chicken, slaw mix and almonds and toss again. Serve in a bowl or on croissants.

It happened!! We were running errands this past weekend and I had to turn the air on in the car! Weeeeee! OK, so I am a bit of a goofball, but I absolutely love summer. To me, summer is a few precious months I get to chill out and have fun with my family. Our summer is filled with hikes in the gorgeous Blue Ridge Mountains, swimming and lots of cooking on the grill. Whenever possible, we love to BBQ for ourselves as well as our neighbors and friends. And speaking of summer grilling and entertaining; I have a secret weapon. My Honey Sriracha Grilled Chicken Drumsticks and the new colorful Rubbermaid products from Kroger.

My Favorite Summer Foods and Drinks

I know a lot of people enjoy grilling and munching on those chicken wings. I do not get it! Why waste your time on something with so little meat? Why not BBQ some nice chicken drumsticks for everyone? With my easy to make Honey Sriracha Grilled Chicken Drumsticks and the pretty Calypso Coral or Lagoon Blue summer inspired Rubbermaid products from Kroger, my summer entertaining is brought to a new level. Whether I am cooking for just the four of us or the whole block, Kroger is my go to store for stocking up on my foods, beverages and other necessities. Here is a place to find more great Rubbermaid content.

When I saw the limited edition summertime colors in the Rubbermaid Pitcher, Party Platter, and Refill Reuse 20oz Bottles at my local Kroger, I had to grab all three! The Party Platter is perfect for my drumsticks, celery and carrots and it even has a container for our ranch dip! Because my Honey Sriracha Grilled Chicken Drumsticks have a little kick to them, I always make a pitcher of strawberry lemonade. The kids love the fresh fruit I add to their favorite drink. What a refreshing beverage on those warm summer days and nights, right? When we are on the way to the park, the pool, on a hike in the mountains or even when I am at the gym, the Refill Reuse 20oz Bottles are absolutely perfect!

Honey Sriracha Grilled Chicken Drumsticks

So, to make my popularly tasty Honey Sriracha Grilled Chicken Drumsticks, all you need is a few ingredients. I am able to easily find what I need from my local Kroger. For the marinade, you need:

3 Pounds of chicken drumsticks

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup soy sauce

3 tablespoons Sriracha chili sauce

1 teaspoon ginger

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

2 tablespoons minced garlic

2 tablespoons olive oil

For the best results, I recommend marinating the drumsticks overnight. If you don’t have the time, try and keep them in a sealed container with the marinade for at least 2 hours. When we cook drumsticks or big chicken breasts on the grill, I will bake them in the oven at 400 for about 30 minutes. Then, take them out and transfer them to the grill for an additional 5-7 minutes on each side.

Serving Your Food Like A Boss

When you have your Honey Sriracha Grilled Chicken Drumsticks made, transfer them into your Rubbermaid Party Platter (available in limited edition summer colors Calypso Coral and Lagoon Blue) from Kroger. I serve them with some celery and carrot sticks with some ranch dressing in the smaller, leak-proof inner container for dipping. I love the separate container from the Rubbermaid Party Platter for a dipping sauce, don’t you? And the ranch dressing really cools off the heat of the Sriracha chili sauce.

You are going to want to stock up on the Rubbermaid Party Platters. I am going to go back to Kroger and get another blue and two more in the coral. These lightweight two-in-one food containers are perfect for entertaining. The base of the Party Platter is divided, so it keeps your foods separate, which is great for my OCD husband and son! You can use them at home or for taking a dish to your next party, pot luck, church social or picnic. I think the Party Platters and the Refill Reuse 20oz Bottles are great for camping.

Why I LOVE Rubbermaid

As you would expect from Rubbermaid, the containers and bottles have lids with a tight seal. No spills for you! All of the pieces of the Rubbermaid products are BPA-free and are microwave, dishwasher, and freezer safe. The Rubbermaid Pitcher, in the two limited edition summer colors, has a three-position lid that turns for pouring freely, pouring with ice guard or closed. The large, comfortable handle makes it easy for lifting and pouring, even for the kids.

The finger loop on the Refill Reuse 20oz Bottles makes it super easy for the kids to carry, especially on those hikes in the woods. And because it fits in your standard cup holder in the car, you keep your hands free for more important things…like driving! These great Rubbermaid products are also available at any Kroger banner store location. You can click here to save now on Rubbermaid Summer Products.

Which of these Rubbermaid products from Kroger are you most excited to try and what will you fill it with?

My family, much like many families across the globe, are busiest during the week. My husband works a job delivering tires from about 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. By the time he gets home, you can bet he is exhausted. For me, I am building this blog, taking care of the house and homeschooling Henry. Caitlin is a very busy high school junior who is involved in a lot of after school activities. To say the weekends are precious, would be an understatement. One of the things I love to do on the weekends is cook for my family. Because we spend a lot of time on Saturday running errands, Sunday is our day to relax.

I will cook a nice breakfast and we will chill together watching Netflix, our favorite On Demand shows or heading to the park to burn off a little steam. One of my families favorite Sunday breakfast recipes is Huevos Rancheros. This dish is perfection on a plate! It has something for everyone, from each food group (if you consider a tomato a fruit!!) and is super easy and cheap to make! I prefer to make Vegetarian Huevos Rancheros, but you can tweak the recipe to suite your dietary preferences.

Vegetarian Huevos Rancheros with Fresh Pico de Gallo

Now, with this recipe, you can use flour or corn tortillas or like me, you can use store bought crispy corn tostadas. Just to cut a little time, I usually go for the store bought tostadas. They are about the same price as the tortillas, you just get to skip the step of cooking the tortillas. I use vegetarian refried beans, but that can be changed as well. About half the time, I will use black beans or whole pinto beans instead of the refried beans. If you have trouble finding the crumbled queso fresco cheese, you can substitute feta or your favorite shredded cheese.

Another reason to love this recipe is because it is so darn healthy! You get a lot of protein from the eggs and beans, your veggies from the onions and the avocados. With the tomatoes, you get your veggies or fruits, depending on what you call a tomato! No matter how you look at it, this is a tasty way to wake up those taste buds without breaking the bank!

Preheat oven to 350. Heat up tostadas for 5-6 minutes. Lower temperature to 200 and keep them warm. You can also do this for your flour or corn tortillas. Another option is to cook them in a little oil in a skillet if you want them crispier.

This family has a sweet tooth! We are not picky when it comes to the sweets we crave either! We love them all! Cakes, cookies, muffins, cupcakes, brownies, candy, and on and on and on. You name it, we probably love it. My husband and I were shopping together. We were getting the ingredients I needed for this Gluten Free Lemon Poppy Seed Pound Cake. He commented that I make a lot of desserts for the blog.

He was laughing and said, “I’m glad we like what you make or we would be feeding the whole neighborhood!!” I do enjoy sharing my desserts with our neighbors. A guy Chris works with has a huge sweet tooth. He loves it when he sees Chris coming up the steps with a container of my baked goodies!

Gluten Free Lemon Poppy Seed Pound Cake

We have been converting some of our favorite dessert recipes to be gluten free. It works out better for our health and for Henry’s autism. One of my favorite flavors in my desserts is hands down, lemon. I love the juxtaposition of sweet and tart. So, one of the first recipes I converted to gluten free was my lemon pound cake recipe.

The Right Flour Is Key

Gluten is one of the things that makes your baked goods so light and fluffy. The trick when you are making a gluten free recipe is to not make a hockey puck. Using a flour is key to a delicious gluten free dessert. My favorite gluten free flour is the Gluten Free All Purpose Flour from King Arthur’s.

A Recipe That Will Satisfy Any Sweet Tooth

The kids love this Gluten Free Lemon Poppy Seed Pound Cake recipe. It is so light and fluffy! and moist. My husband will have his with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. I like mine as it is. Any way you slice it, this Gluten Free Lemon Poppy Seed Pound Cake will please any sweet tooth! Another lemony dessert I love to make is my No Bake Lemon Cheesecake Bars. So good!

I am so dang ready for fall, aren’t you? We live in the south and our temperatures are still in the upper 80’s, but are supposed to start dropping soon. To get in the mood for fall and Halloween, I am going to make one of my favorite Fall/Halloween recipes and pretend it is already cooler outside! When I am crunching into one of these Chocolate Dipped Candy Caramel Popcorn Balls, I will sit in my air conditioned house, close my eyes, and pretend away!!

Chocolate Dipped Halloween Caramel Popcorn Balls

My kids could eat a mountain of these Chocolate Dipped Candy Caramel Popcorn Balls if I let them. They are sweet and crunchy and the melted chocolate and sprinkles give it an added level of sweetness. It also adds a little bit of fun, don’t you think? I am totally fine with plain caramel popcorn balls, but I enjoy making these Chocolate Dipped Candy Caramel Popcorn Balls. Well, the kids end up doing the dipping and sprinkling, so that part of the process eludes me most of the time.

If you have a party or school event you need to being a snack to, bring these Chocolate Dipped Candy Caramel Popcorn Balls. Kids and grown ups alike will fall in love with this twist on the classic recipe. You can make these any time of the year, but for me, the fall is when we make the most batches.

We also make them at Christmas, using white chocolate and Christmas colored sprinkles (spoilers!)If you want to wrap them individually, just get some clear wrap and a holiday ribbon and they make the cutest little gift. Anyway you wrap it, present it or eat it, they will be a family favorite!

Living in the south, it can get really hot and humid. This means my thermostat is set at 68 degrees, my hair will get frizzy and I eat a lot of salads. I did not grow up on salads. There were 6 of us kids and salad was not a favorite for any of us. This is something I didn’t discover I loved until I was in my late 20’s.

I worked in a Mexican restaurant and we served several salads. I tried the Quesadilla salad with steak fajita meat and I was in love! I thought salad was just a bunch of greens and vegetables! With this discovery, came a lot of experimentation. One of my all time favorite salads is a Spicy Shrimp Cobb Salad. I love the mix of the spicy shrimp with the cool greens.

Another reason I love salads is the millions of salad dressings to choose from to add flavor to your salad! I love just about any salad dressing, from spicy to sweet to creamy to chunky! One of my favorite homemade salad dressings is an Avocado Vinaigrette. I have just recently found a love for avocados, so adding them to my salad was a logical progression.

The next logical step was to make them into a salad dressing! I love this Avocado Vinaigrette because it has a little kick, is creamy and has that yummy avocado flavor. Oh, and it is easy to make! You just toss a few ingredients into your food processor and you are ready to dress that salad!

If I had to choose my top favorite salad, a cobb salad would be at the top. If you think about it, a cobb salad is almost the perfect meal! It is packed full of veggies and protein, is crunchy and has layers of flavor. I love the bite of the feta cheese, the crunch of the bacon and the smooth avocados and hard boiled eggs.

The one thing I have found about a cobb salad is it can be a bit mild. To step up the flavor profile, I love to add spicy shrimp. This gives your cobb salad the perfect amount of heat without being overpowering. Waant a refreshing drink that goes perfectly with this Spicy Shrimp Cobb Salad? Try these Lemon Lime Mojitos!

One thing I did learn from working in that restaurant was to make sure you clean your lettuce and vegetables before you assemble your salad. You need a good salad spinner that will get rid off all that excess moisture. The last thing you want is a soggy salad, right? With the Ratchet Salad Spinner from Kuhn Riko, you get all that and comfort too.

With their ergonomic ratchet handle, you get more spin power without breaking your hand! The easy-access brake buttons allow you to stop spinner in an instant and the Ratchet Salad Spinner doubles as colander and serving bowl. I love that! Less mess and easier clean up! The Ratchet Salad Spinner can be purchased on the Kuhn Rikor website for just $35.

I am going to kick off this week on a healthy start. I have a great gluten free recipe I think you are going to love! My daughter is obsessed with cooking with cauliflower and sent me a basic recipe for cauliflower biscuits from her Paleo diet days. I tweaked it and came up with these Gluten Free Cheesy Bacon And Herb Cauliflower Biscuits.

With Henry and his Asperger’s Syndrome, I have tried to incorporate gluten free into his diet whenever I can. I also try to do so in my diet as I know it is healthier than eating all those breads, pastas and other carb and gluten heavy foods. With these Gluten Free Cheesy Bacon And Herb Cauliflower Biscuits., you get a lot of flavor without all the carbs and gluten in a traditional biscuit recipe. And you get some veggies too!

For this particular Gluten Free Cheesy Bacon And Herb Cauliflower Biscuits. recipe, I use cheddar cheese and parsley. If you wanted to, you could use any cheese you like. My husband said he would eat them if I used pepper jack cheese, so I am going to try that next. I think dill would be tasty as well as a little cilantro for a little kick. As long as you follow the basic recipe, you can make substitutions with these items.
